How Intel will bring a “good enough” tablet to the US market by Christmas—for less than $100

Quartz- Intel is about to do something that would have seemed crazy under previous CEOs: the company will start competing at the lowest end of the microprocessor market. This is a company that built its reputation, and its manufacturing infrastructure—hugely expensive and unique among makers of microprocessors—on the back of high margins built into costly microchips intended for powerful PCs and servers. Now the shrinking PC market has forced Intel to attempt to create small, power-efficient, and relatively inexpensive chips to power the mobile phones and tablets that are directly cannibalizing the market for PCs.

My main hope is that these tablets have the ability to easily install Linux.

I'd love these. Thinking about it, tablets are inferior to me anyways. The "best tablet" still sucks compared to my laptop. I just want a tablet for internet and minor things, so less than 100 bucks would be a day one buy for me.
